The late Pauline Oliveros is having her moment. How Long Beach Opera is making it even bigger Long Beach Opera embarks on a risky, unprecedented season centered on pioneering composer Pauline Oliveros. "We’re just going for it."

Every moment is a moment for Pauline Oliveros but this new piece in the Los Angeles Times describes how the Long Beach Opera is devoting an entire season to Pauline's work.

CD booklet resting atop its jewelcase and leaning against a preamplifier with a black face and wooden cabinet. The cover has the composer’s name in all caps, framed in a rectangular box; beneath that is the title, in much smaller letters. In a larger box occupying most of the bottom 2/3 of the cover is an image of an abstract painting: a diagonal black line passes through a yellowish stroke that curls back on itself at one end, and below the other end is a dark-red circle.

Now playing: Michael Ranta - Transits: Volume 1 CD (2024, Important). Superb percussion work from @sarahhennies.bsky.social and released by @imprec.bsky.social

All that stuff will be going up for sale shortly. The socks are high quality and I'm still pretty excited by the way they turned out. Made in the US by Sock Lab.

Meredith Young-Sowers: Agartha: Personal Meditation Music - Spectrum Culture A criminally unknown cassette curiosity, the analog quality of this project’s synth drones makes it much warmer, smoother and fuller than most '80s new age.

I want to keep this original set together and will pay whomever won them handsomely. Please reach out!

The Wire magazine asked me to write 1000 words on my experiences manufacturing records, CDs and tapes for their end of the year double issue. After 24 years (now exactly half my life) and over 600 projects, I had plenty to say.
